Well, I got busy right after making this poll last night so I didn't even vote then. But I'll tell you that I don't expect much in the way of sustained warm up until May (and that I say, very sadly - I'm ready to ride) First week probably for my region, but I voted for my B-day time frame for NE.

Sure, we'll get some warmth like early next week. But even here temps max at 60+ for one day only and then we go backwards again.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that at least in the Southern Mid-Atlantic we're about to get into warmer pattern where cold air continues to try to make inroads but we're progressively warming. North of I-80 though could be an issue with the snowpack still on the ground in the north combined with the patterns we've found ourselves in all winter. Give me spring now for VA and MD, PA and NJ and southern NY waiting a few weeks and north of that....well mid may?

May should turn out colder than normal north of I-80. April will be near normal maybe slightly below

This spring is beginning to look like 2003 for us in upstate New York (the last year all three spring months were colder than average. If we hadn't reached 80 degrees on April 15 that year, we would have had to wait until June 23 for our first 80-plus day!

As for this year, we'll have to reach 60 degrees by April 9 to equal the latest in a calendar year (in the last 45 years) we've had our first 60-plus day.

For the southern and potentially central Mid Atlantic, a 3+ day stretch of 70+ degrees may vey well happen this weekend into early next week. For the northern Mid Atlantic and the rest of the Northeast, it'll take some time.
